I was 21, going on 22 when I graduated from Phase III and assigned to group in 1971. I think one of the reasons they took younger guys at that time was due to attrition in Southeast Asia. But I think the main reason they took us so young was because we were young, eager and the vets enjoyed laughing at us....
